H is for.......

..........Halloween

I know its a bit early but thought I would get into the halloween spirit, ( see what I did there?) so I spend the morning carving a pumpkin, yes I am a big kid at heart.

It is very slow at the studios this week I think the weather is putting people off, especially as we had such good weather last week, luckily I have a few commissions for Christmas to get done. My workshop on the 29th is filling up well so I have just booked another 7 workshop spaces. I am quite limited on when I can use the teaching room as there are regular groups that have been going for years to compete with, so I may also look for other village halls etc to maybe start a couple up in the new year. So for now its promote promote promote my workshops.

H is also for horseThe brown chap at the back has been avoiding me for weeks. I wanted a close up photo of his face to be able to paint it, but even though he is happy to greet most people who come into the visitor carpark ( next to his field) he avoids me, I think perhaps he has realised I am a bit scared of horses, eithier that or he's playing games.

The black one however was happy to pose and I did tickle his nose as thanks, even if it was a bit tentatively.......
